Alastair Morbhán has spent his life running from a bloodline forged in darkness-his ancestors made a pact with an umbral sovereign, trading their souls for the cursed Veilshard. When the insidious alchemist Kaelith, his own corrupted forefather, forces that same shard into his hands, Alastair's quiet scholarly existence shatters.
The dying Elderwood is only the beginning. The blight consuming the ancient forest is a symptom of catastrophe-the Veil between worlds is fracturing, and the rupture will unmake everything.
Desperate for redemption, Alastair forges an unlikely alliance with Lyria, Commander of the Yewain Entente, and hunts the legendary blade Blightbane. But the path to salvation demands far more than a weapon. It leads to Awen, the slumbering demi-god who anchors reality itself, and forces an impossible choice: to save the world, Alastair must become the Veilshard's warden-wielding the very corruption he sought to destroy, walking the knife's edge between savior and destroyer.
One misstep transforms him into the prophesied tyrant his bloodline was meant to spawn. One moment of weakness, and he doesn't just fail-he becomes the eternal nightmare that eclipses every atrocity his ancestors committed.
To preserve existence, Alastair must risk becoming its greatest abomination.
